Muriel Spark RIP

I was listening to the radio this afternoon, while taking one last thorough browse round my favourite, but soon-to-be-closed, bargain bookstore when I heard on the news that Dame Muriel Spark had passed away. I moaned quietly. Well, I hope I was quiet. I knew she was getting on a bit (she was 88) but it's still sad to hear that one of my favourite living authors is no more.
